中国梦的再解读与中国特色和平发展道路

中华民族近代以来的最伟大梦想就是实现中华民族的伟大复兴,即中国梦。中国梦是国家富强、民族振兴的国家梦,中国梦是社会和谐、人民幸福的个人梦,中国梦是和平、发展、合作、共赢的世界梦,中国梦与世界各国人民的美好梦想相通,但中国梦不是霸权梦。实现中国梦不能走世界革命的老路,也不能走霸权主义的邪路,必须坚持走有中国特色的和平发展道路,中国特色的和平发展道路是中国共产党人带领全国人民在革命、建设、改革、发展的现代化进程中,根据时代发展潮流和国家根本利益作出的战略抉择,是在改革开放的实践中已经被反复证明的实现中华民族伟大复兴的正确道路。中国梦与中国特色的和平发展道路相辅相成、不可分割。     

The leadership dilemma: Examining the impact of strong leaders on parties

Party leaders are often regarded as crucial to a party's success. Successful leaders tend to be big personalities who dominate their party's organisation, policy development and electoral campaigns. But does that control come with a price? We test to see if such leaders damage their parties in the medium term. This happens because strong leaders might be ceded too much control of the party organisation, policy and electoral strategy. We specifically hypothesise that political parties will go through a period of leadership instability and electoral decline after strong leaders step down. Using a dataset with elections under party leaders in nine countries over a 25-year period, and a qualitative case study, we find some evidence for the theory, which should prompt further research of the question.
